Here’s a recent Children’s Hospital of Orange County blog post detailing our use of alternative medicine:

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?

Acupuncture is the placement of single use, solid, sterile needles that are as thin as a human hair (we use 40 gauge needles in comparison to the standard 21 gauge hypodermic needle used to draw blood in a blood test).

The needles are inserted at specific sites on the surface of the skin – acupuncture points – that alter biochemical and physiological conditions in the body. Inserting needles at these points stimulates sensory receptors, which stimulate nerves that transmit impulses to the brain.

The brain responds to these impulses by releasing neurotransmitters and hormones including serotonin and endorphins, the body’s natural pain-killing hormones.
